Human resources are the people who support your organisation, be they staff or volunteers. To run your organisation effectively, you need to attract the right sort of people to help you deliver your services. Additionally, you need to ensure you have the systems, polices and procedures in place to get the best out of your staff and volunteers, and to ensure you operate within the law.
